Integra VS 240sx

[SpeedDemon101]

What do you guys think is better, Integra or 240sx? Which would win in a race? How about autocross wise?

[240NIZ]

Gotta go with the 240sx

[93rollaracer]

i'm gonna say the 240 too...gotta love the RWD

[tiburocks]

RWD!!!

Meaning obviously 240sx

I like the Jap sil-eighty (180sx)

It's kinda the same as the 240sx but it's jap!!!

240sx 200sx 180sx are all lovely lil drifters seen a 180sx monster at a car show set for drags but it was never raced so nobody knows its potential plus its a rare car around here. The owner said his g-force pro estimates over 800 lbs at the wheels thats scary stuff.

[SpeedDemon101]

i figured that would be the most common response. What does the 180 come with engine wise? Factory hp?

The One-Eighty is only the Hatch Right?

i would go with the 240sx due to a couple reasons, it is rwd, it is a nissan, and it looks better. i know the s13 had a hatchback body style, one of my buddies has one.

In a drag race, an Integra GSr is faster than the American version of the 240sx. As for a racing chassis...depending on who you ask, FWD is good enough for racing. I've attended many road races and I've seen alot of FWD outhandle rwd (and vice versa). It's all about the driver...some people can drive a FWD car really good, others are use to RWD and prefer thier slippery corner entrance

As for drifting...I don't wanna talk about drifting

Altough I would prefer a 240sx with an SR20 over a GSR, I have to admit, I had alot of fun when I had a GSR

[freakonaleash1187]

ummm, you are the first person i have heard about saying fwd is better than rwd for racing. a true racecar driver knows how to drive a car and therefor goes with rwd because it is a better set-up.

[integra818]

Like I said, some people drive FWD better than RWD, it's driving style. The past 3 years, I've been learning how to control FWD through canyon roads, I can't drive RWD.

[integra818]

Here's a good example, V8's will put out more power than 4 cylenders, it does'nt mean that there are'nt performance oriented 4 cylender engines in production, and it also does'nt mean a 4 cylender can't out-power a V8.

In RWD 50/50 is desirable, in FWD the weight balance it totally up to the driver. I know road racers who raec FWD and prefer somethin clser to 70/30 because the throw the rear around in turns sometimes (not drifting, just a small bit of slip to get the car to rotate)

Explain to me why a RWD car is better in handling than a FWD car. *not drifting, this is'nt about drifting

If FWD cars were good than wouldnt the Grand Prix or Nascar cars be either rwd or fwd? fwd cars are coo to a point. ive had my share of both cars and can handle both appropriatley. integra818 is totally right about how some drivers prefer fwd over rwd and vise versa and how it depends on the driver... i would go with the depends on the driver if both cars were equal. the integ puts more power to the ground but torque should be about the same right? by the way amatures at home dont attempt to prove either car as the better car that was a disclaimer btw

Also in the title of this thread it obviously implies both cars stock wise and both are 4 cylinders dont forget!
